FAQ
Common questions about Financial Services.
Can hardened images make a payment environment PCI compliant?
No. They can support technical controls and baseline consistency, but PCI DSS compliance depends on the full scoped environment and assessment process.
Why focus on infrastructure for financial services?
Infrastructure is where operating systems, workloads, evidence, and security controls meet. Strong baselines reduce risk before applications run.
